“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39.
I must admit that there are times that my heart feels so far away from Jesus. At those times I must turn my heart and mind to believing what Jesus has declared to be true – “On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you”, “never will I leave you or forsake you”.
The literal meaning of sin is to the miss the mark. What is the mark that I have missed? Is it that I think my performance of what God expects is lacking? If everything that does not come from faith is sin, then sin must be the result of not believing what God has spoken. Satan is always looking for ways to get me to think that “I am not…..” such that I will feel distant from Jesus. My sin is from not believing that Jesus has included me in his fellowship with his Father. That is where the feeling of separation comes from. It is not from Jesus. Will you join me believing what he has said that nothing shall separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus?
